An investigation into the death of a 38 year-old man is underway in the Auckland suburb of Mt Roskill.
The man was found dead at about 9 o'clock this morning in his Frost Rd flat.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Iain Chapman says it's unclear how he died.
"Until such time cause of death can be determined we will investigate it as if it was a homicide.
"We understand he had lived at this address for a few days only and shared the accommodation with one other person. We have secured the scene, the pathologist has been requested to attend and we hope to remove the man's body from the address later today or early tomorrow."
Anyone with information about the matter should call Auckland City Crime Squad on 09 302 6557 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
